For me it's Indian food, but then... what else? Ugh... what a question.

Bah. My mind is a whirling blank right here. I mean, freshly-prepared tiradito right off the boat is like... ffff, like tasting heaven.

I mean, I've never had *truly* fresh, truly authentic sushi, but I imagine it would be like tiradito? (note: it's a form of ceviche, i.e. latino lime-cooked fish slices)

American, and Mexican.

Middle Eastern and Middle Eastern (I should probably give other cuisines a try). There's a lot more to this stuff than shawarma, y'all.

[–] squinky@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

In this house, we serve both kinds of cuisine: macaroni and cheese!

[–] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago

Now if that's a BLUES BROTHERS reference, I love it!!

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Indian and italian

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 1 month ago

Italian and Mexican. That covers about 50% of my diet already.

[–] stinky@redlemmy.com 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Indian food is great because it packs tons of flavor with minimal calories

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Doubts about the second part.
The ghee is used abundantly, they fry a lot and if not there's always a tadka to poor over it.
Depends OC on what region or religion.
Silly to lump everything into 'Indian' as it's huge and has many cuisines.

Italian and Japanese

[–] grue@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Does "American" count as a cuisine? 'Cause it encompasses just about everything else, as long as I don't need it to be "authentic."

[–] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Excellent choice. I hope you're happy with barbecue, fast food hamburgers, and all-day breakfast.

Japanese and Mexican I think.

stir fry and pizza

Cajun, and I could stop there. Cajun food is hands down the best of the Southern US foods. Then it's a toss up between Mexican, Tex-Mex, or Greek. I might have a thing for spicy meats/fish and flat breads

[–] oyfrog@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Japanese and Mexican for the sake of the question. It's what I grew up eating, and I hate the idea of being without my familiar comfort foods.

Truthfully though, I love eating too much to limit myself regionally or to just two countries. There's so much I haven't tried.

[–] Bunbury@feddit.nl 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Italian and Vietnamese. I’m from neither of the places, but their food is so much better than anything we’ve got.

Mexican food and Chinese food - that should cover me pretty good. RIP Italian food, sushi, Indian, and American french fries.

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Initially I thought French and Chinese, but I love pizza so much, and Greek food is so delicious too.

So, I found a compromise: Mediterranean and Chinese 😋

[–] WellroundedKi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Japanese & Mediterranean.

[–] DistrictSIX@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

Thai and Iranian. That'd cover a large spectrum of what I like.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Take the meat parts out and I'll eat almost anything.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Like my in-laws.... Hmmm here's a great new hummus and salad! Yeah we sprinkled chicken, pork, beef, and shrimp powder and other meat products. It doesn't change the flavor, we just like gout so much.

Perfectly good meal + smear some dead animal on it.
